JAKARTA - Seven toll gates (GT) were affected by demonstrations at the end of August 2025 and were confirmed to have been handled quickly.

Quoted from an upload on the official Instagram account of the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) of the Ministry of Public Works (PU) @pupr_bpjt, Thursday, September 11, the repair and re-operation of these gates is a committed effort to maintain smooth traffic flow and provide comfort for road users.

"All toll gates that previously used mobile reader have now been opened and operated on the Automatic Toll Substation (GTO), so that the transaction process becomes faster," wrote BPJT.

Previously, the seven GTs were temporarily used using mobile reader as a transaction mode. BPJT said that GTO improvements were carried out in stages and massive, so that all affected GTs could be used and facilitate traffic.

The seven GTs affected include GT Senayan; GT Kuningan 1; GT Semanggi 1; GT Semanggi 2; GT Slipi 1; GT Slipi 2; GT Slipi 2; and GT Pejompongan.

"The service is still monitored to maintain the smooth flow of vehicles and the comfort of road users," he added.

Previously, PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk or JSMR allocated a budget of IDR 80 billion to repair toll gates under management damaged by demonstrations at the end of last August.

These improvements were also made, including for seven toll gates that were burned by the masses.

This was conveyed by Jasa Marga President Director Rivan Achmad Purwantono while visiting the Pejompongan Toll Gate (GT), Jakarta, together with the Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo, Tuesday, September 2.

"Yesterday we calculated around Rp80 billion, the repairs have started. So Sunday we can come in. Today what we see behind is the days of cleaning," said Rivan.
